  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    The friction coefficient is an empirical (experimentally measured) structural property that depends only on various aspects of the contacting materials, such as surface roughness. The coefficient of friction is not a function of mass or volume. For instance, a large aluminum block has the same coefficient of friction as a small aluminum block.

  4. Tribometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribometer

    To determine the kinetic coefficient of friction the hanging mass is increased or decreased until the mass system moves at a constant speed. In both cases, the coefficient of friction is simplified to the ratio of the two masses: = /

  7. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Kinetic friction on the other hand, occurs when two objects are undergoing relative motion, as they slide against each other. The force F k exerted between the moving objects is equal in magnitude to the product of the normal force N and the coefficient of kinetic friction μ k: | | =. Regardless of the mode, friction always acts to oppose the ...

  8. Floor slip resistance testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_slip_resistance_testing

    ANSI/NFSI B101.1-2009 was allowed to expire because it's a static coefficient of friction test, which measures how slippery a floor is to someone standing still on it. All static tests, such as ASTM D2047, ASTM C1028, ASTM F489 [ 20 ] for the James Machine, ASTM F1678 and ANSI/NFSI B101.1 have been shown to lack any correlation to real-world ...

  9. Ski wax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_wax

    The coefficient of kinetic friction, , is less than the coefficient of static friction for both ice and snow. [9] [10] The force required for sliding on snow is the product of the coefficient of kinetic friction and the normal force: =. [11]
